5576 octal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the octal number 5576 to a binary number. First note that the octal number system has eight different digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) and the binary number system has only two different digits (0 and 1).

The four steps used to convert 5576 from octal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 5576 by 8⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 5576 by 8¹, multiply the third to last digit in 5576 by 8², multiply the fourth to last digit in 5576 by 8³, and so on, until all the digits are used:

6 × 8⁰ = 6
7 × 8¹ = 56
5 × 8² = 320
5 × 8³ = 2560

Step 2)
Next, we add up all the products we got from Step 1, like this:

6 + 56 + 320 + 2560 = 2942

Step 3)
Now we divide the sum from Step 2 by 2. Put the remainder aside. Then divide the whole part by 2 again, and put the remainder aside again. Keep doing this until the whole part is 0.

2942 ÷ 2 = 1471 with 0 remainder
1471 ÷ 2 = 735 with 1 remainder
735 ÷ 2 = 367 with 1 remainder
367 ÷ 2 = 183 with 1 remainder
183 ÷ 2 = 91 with 1 remainder
91 ÷ 2 = 45 with 1 remainder
45 ÷ 2 = 22 with 1 remainder
22 ÷ 2 = 11 with 0 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 remainder
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with 0 remainder
1 ÷ 2 = 0 with 1 remainder

Step 4)
In the final step, we take the remainders from Step 3 and put them together in reverse order to get our answer to 5576 octal to binary:

5576 octal = 101101111110 binary
